Russia Plans To Peg Chinas Yuan To Its New Stablecoin

According to a Kommersant source, Russia has revealed plans to launch two State-linked crypto exchanges to incorporate digital payments for trade settlements. The two crypto exchanges will operate in Moscow and St. Petersburg. 

Russia, the heavyweight nation behind BRICS, plans to launch a new stablecoin linked to the Chinese yuan. Since the war broke out between Russia and Ukraine, the US sanctions have forced Russia to find alternative payment methods to keep its economy afloat. 

Russia intends to link the Chinese yuan to the new crypto-based stablecoin at a 1:1 ratio. This guarantees that the coin’s price remains consistent and without volatility, making it reasonably safe for carrying out transactions without fear of price fluctuations.

The plan is that the Russian ruble and the Chinese yuan will profit the most when trade is handled using the new payment mechanism, finally achieving their de-dollarization agenda. The US dollar will play no role in the payment system, allowing local currencies to take a large proportion of settlements.

Russia’s launch of the crypto exchanges has “The goal is to support foreign economic activity (FEA).” According to lawyers and analysts, they will most likely be created in an experimental legal regime.
